We stayed at Sportsview Guest House for one night during the Easter Break. It's an ok-ish B&B in a good location with old-fashioned and worn, but clean rooms and a tiny bathrooms. The breakfast was a big disappointment (no fresh items, chewy breads, tasteless hot food) in a much too small breakfast room. I couldn't even get out of my... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night at the beginning of February. It cost us £83 and was not worth the money. We managed to get in the car park which was a relief as it is very small. The owners are friendly enough and the position of the B&B is good as you can walk into Oxford... More

The room was cold, not clean and noisy at night time. Poor shower, breakfast not exceptional. Our room was at the lower level, with old forniture. We heard that there are better (renovated?) rooms. A plus is that It is very conveniently situated near the city centre, and there is a free parking.

Nice guest house room was clean and warm with plenty of hot water. The booking in process was fast and efficient, very friendly staff with local knowledge. There was a good amount of choice for breakfast and everything was delicious. It was a convenient 10 minute walk to the middle of town. We will stay here again.

The hotel was convenient to city centre. The breakfast was good and the breakfast room was clean. However the hotel is situated on a busy main road, which made it a bit noisy at night time. When we arrived our room was very cold and heating was not on. The shower tray didn't drain well and spoilt it for me.

We are pleased you enjoyed your breakfast and the closeness to the city centre. We are much less pleased that the shower tray was partially blocked and therefore slow draining, a position that should have been noticed, and corrected, before your arrival. We are also disappointed that the heating was off on your arrival in a February, unless it was... More

A fine guest house little more than 10 minutes from the centre of Oxford. Our room was clean and warm with ample tea and coffee. The bathroom was lovely. Most importantly, as we had booked a family room for 2 adults and 1 child, unlike Hilton, Ramada and Travelodge (sorry we were desperate that time), they made up a double... More

Thank you very much and really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and thought so highly of us. Your tip for rooms at the back will unfortunately not work with our family rooms as they are all to the front. The off street parking is a bonus, but is not always available I am afraid, as it is...

We booked through booking.com and whilst we weren't really big fans of Oxford, we thought that the Sportsview represented great value for money with pleasant rooms that included free car parking and free internet.

Pleased to see our reviews are improving, think this is mainly due to the fact that the recent reviewers differntiate between a guesthouse (larger B & B) and a hotel. Our staffing levels cannot match those of a hotel, but neither do our prices, and we do not have any night staff, making late arrivals more problematical, although we do... More
